I killed two with it this season and LB 5's. Bought a SumToy 672 to try in the off season.

Just re-read post about what 12. I have not decided, kinda retired mine but I think I am gonna get it back out this year and shoot one with it. Mine, like I mentioned above is a SBE1 Steady Grip with Burriss FF3 with protector mount mounted on a 336 base with a God A Grip check riser pad. I will probably be shooting up the Mag Blends I have, but really want to try some of the new Federal TSS. I load TSS for my 20's but have not loaded any for my 12's. I also have an old school Green Leaf 11-87 with Tru-Glo sights that might see a day or two.
Browning Gold NWTF 3.5. Contemplating switching to a Benelli.
M1 24" 12ga and a M1 26" 20 ga
Early 90s 11-87 3in #7 Hevi-Shot with Hevi-Shot choke tube, Vortex Venom sight. Rob Roberts worked the barrel over for me and it is amazing how much better it shoots.
I have a TC Encore that I have done some turkey damage with but got an M2 I'm going to give a try this year.

Anyone using a V3?
Did for early part of last season before switching to a dedicated turkey gun with optics ( 870 Super Mag + red dot ) . Handles turkey loads just fine and would have been OK, but I would have needed a red dot to adjust POA/POI. V3`s a fine gun.
two 1187. one is a 20ga compact model with Sumtoy choke and other one is 12ga with Jeb choke
Just got a new SBE3 with 24" barrel and steady grip stock in bottomland. Love it

I like each gun for different reasons - I'd have to say my Beretta 12 ga for modern gun - my Benelli has become my duck gun!! I LOVE my 1967 Browning Auto 5 Magnum Twenty for classic old. Plan is to use the 20 this year in Iowa!

Ok. I had a a300 turkey I just sold and got a benelli sbe3. I was torn between that and an a400. I have an old beretta 391 I use for birds that I love

I picked up the Beretta A400 extreme plus in September. Killed a ton of game with it this fall and winter. Getting all the turkey additions lined out on it right now. But the old bps is ready if the confidence downturn show up in time for the opening of turkey.

Intial testing of mine revealed a very centered but high pattern. I ordered a set of Tru Glo sights for it along with an Indian Creek choke. Love the quick unload method along with that top safety...perfect for the right minded folks. ;D

SBE II owners, I want to turn my SBE II into a dedicated turkey gun. Finding the steady grip stock in max 4 was easy; what do I need to mount a scope/sight? I was thinking red dot but welcome your suggestions. I am fairly new to turkey hunting but hooked. Thanks in advance.
Thank you!

New - Franchi Affinity 3 in Bottomland.
Old - 870 Supermag in MO breakup
I got a Mossberg 935 this year and am pleased with it. Other than the factory tru glo type sight don't have enough adjustment to them so you have to get another sighting system. But at $700 it's still a good deal.

Beretta A390. I just love those guns. I have 4 and always contemplating buying a 5th when I see one for sale.
